J3 is the 3rd month that starts with J so it's July. 49 is the 49th day of July so August 18th. easy peasy

I think this means it expires 349 months after the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson.

This is the most sound flogic I have ever witness, I shall now bow down to the Grand Nagus of flogic as I am not worthy to stand with thee

L stands for leap year, so that tracks.
